Depends on the bootloader version how this goes. Use the '?' and see what commands that version supports. See if you have a 'set' or 'env' you may need to use 'set' to set the IP and stuff.

Ok here is the whole process and what i get. I cant figure out why it keeps saying illegal ip address. The laptop i'm using is set to 192.168.1.5 I know this ios will fit and work with this router because we have 184 of them in use elsewhere. Boot loader is 12.2

usage: tftpdnld [-ur]
Use this command for disaster recovery only to recover an image via TFTP.
Monitor variables are used to set up parameters for the transfer.
(Syntax: "VARIABLE_NAME=value" and use "set" to show current variables.)
"ctrl-c" or "break" stops the transfer before flash erase begins.

The following variables are REQUIRED to be set for
IP_ADDRESS: The IP address for this unit
IP_SUBNET_MASK: The subnet mask for this unit
DEFAULT_GATEWAY: The default gateway for this unit
TFTP_SERVER: The IP address of the server to fetch from
TFTP_FILE: The filename to fetch

Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.

I believe ROMMON variables are CASE sensitive. set IP_ADDRESS, and not ip_address.

From searching a bit... it looks like quite a few people have had problems with a corrupt rommon for the soho 91 and the 831 (the one I had problems with).

Here is where i am at today
Yes HT is configured correctly otherwise i wouldn't be able to access the router at all. The Ios ver that we are using is soho91-k9oy6-mz.123-11.T.bin I know this is a good file because I have installed it in another router recently. I have searched cisco.com for an updated ROMmon and can find no such thing. I am willing to try to install the current IOS 12.3 (8)ya, but as i am a lowly tech and do not have access to a service contract I can not DL it from Cisco. I do have access to a working router. Is there something I can do using it to recover my bad one?
